Porcupine Pufferfish Puffed (pictures)

[lionstorm]

don't worry he wasn't stressed out for these photos...usually he rarely puffs and we just happened to have the digital camera standing by and took some shots. he's starting to deflate but his spines are still out pretty good...not something i'd want to swallow

Mine puffs up on occasion. I love the full puff up!
Sometimes my pork will puff to make extra room for treats. He's such a pig. Haha :joy:

hehe hey irenicus
yeah mine will contort himself a lot when i'm feeding my fish its quite fun
btw i have a question, have you ever had a puffer go after conchs or snails? i'm getting some in and don't want to kill then :-/

That's awesome, when I don't have any more sharks or rays, that's the first fish on my list.

they are number one as far as personality goes i wanted a lionfish at first but a 75 gallon is just too much of a squeeze, with a puffer i can have him grow up for awhile before I have to move him or sell him. But they have unparalleled personalities and they are incredibly smart IMO

Nice pic, I never saw mine puff up under any circumstances. Don't know if that's good or bad. :thinking:

they LOVE snails

My puffer never touched a snail. My cc star on the other hand eats them all of the time.
Go figure .

 

[lionstorm]

well i got in some turbo snails and some dark reef snails...he's not touched the turbo snails but he just sucked about two of my 150 dark reef snails out of their shell
that answers that question.

they eat anything that is in the tank when bored or hungry

Nice pics
I have 2 porcs myself. One puffs on occasion, and the other I've never seen puff at all, not even when I was capturing to move from one tank to another.
